Unit 30527

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: the core of partition wall 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: re-used brick&mortar; Deposition: heterogeneous

Description: This partition wall have been burnt and eroded in the N part. 

Discussion: From 2013 season:
A ridge/partition wall built on top of the bench F7118 while erecting the platform F2177, differs a lot from the coating of the wall (U30526) by colour and the texture. The ridge forms a frame (and therefore is probably the same feature) with other partition walls within platform and seems similar to the cores of rest of the walls. The W extant of the unit is difficult to define as the unit is diffused towards this direction.
From 2014 season:
After removing the make-up layer covering U30527 it became clear that the core of F7315 consisted of a clearly distinguishable layer consisting of two components: dark mortar and mudbrick-like material (probaby re-used bricks). These two components make up the larger part of the core of F7315. The dark mortar and re-used brick were fixed in position using a lighter type of mortar as foundation (U21328). This layer was excavated using trowel and mattock.

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded
